“Don’t push your luck!” Si Hongyue snorted, “In my hands now, you have no right to ask questions!”
Qin Changqing chuckled, “No, no, no, I am not in your hands, but you are in mine.” As he spoke, he took out a fashionable bellyband from his storage bag and grinned slyly: “Demon Princess, you wouldn’t want anyone to see this bellyband, would you?”
“Demon Princess, you wouldn’t want anyone to see this bellyband, would you?”
When Si Hongyue saw the bellyband in Qin Changqing’s hand, she was about to explode with anger.
“You!!”
“Also,” Qin Changqing raised his hands, “before we continue with the fighting, I feel it’s necessary to explain something. Demon Princess, although this thing has been in my possession for quite some time, I swear this is only the second time I’ve touched it.”
“And I swear, I never did anything strange with it.”
Heaven and Earth can be his witness, Qin Changqing was not interested in this thing at all.
Please, he isn’t some kind of pervert.
He had a bunch of delicate wives at home. Why would he bother with this tattered piece of cloth when he could comfort his ladies?
Moreover, he was someone who had seen the world. This design might be considered fashionable in this world, but it would be nothing in his previous life.
Si Hongyue’s face eased a little bit.
“Then give it back to me!!”
“Hold on, don’t be hasty.” Qin Changqing looked at her with a smile, “First, tell me what purpose your Huntian Sect has in Yinxu Prefecture?”
Seeing an opportunity, Qin Changqing wanted to investigate the matter clearly.
After all, the incident occurred in Yinxu Prefecture. If it were somewhere else, he wouldn’t bother with it.
“No comment.” Si Hongyue snorted coldly, “Do you really think you can threaten me with this thing? You’re too naive.”
“The naive one is you.” Qin Changqing shook his head, “Considering your current situation, you are in mortal danger, and yet you are still thinking about your fellow sect members? They never showed any mercy when they attacked you.”
Si Hongyue’s expression changed, “You… How did you know!?”
“Is it hard to guess? Apart from the Lingxiao Sect, the other major power in
Yinxu Prefecture is the Dayan Dynasty. I know the movements of both sides. Who hurt you? If it’s not our Sect or the Dayan Dynasty, it can only be your own
Huntian Sect.”
“Moreover, with your status, even the elders of Yinxu Prefecture might not be able to hurt you. So I guess that your Huntian Sect is after something here. You are a faction within the struggle and although you are currently at a disadvantage, you are unwilling to leave… Hmm, that thing must be very important to you, right?”
Si Hongyue was stunned for a moment.
Could this man have planted a pawn in the Huntian Sect?
How did he know all this so clearly?
Indeed, Si Hongyue had a purpose in Yinxu Prefecture…or rather, in the Tiankui Mountain Range.
The whole Huntian Sect had a purpose too.
“What do you want?” Si Hongyue asked after a moment of silence.
Qin Changqing thought for a moment and then asked, “Did you kill Mu Tao?”
“Who?” Si Hongyue frowned.
“Mu Tao, the steward of Yinxu Prefecture.’
Si Hongyue frowned, “Why would I kill him?”
“I see.” Qin Changqing nodded, “It seems that the internal struggle within your Huntian Sect is quite intense, and the other faction is much stronger than yours. So, you have no choice but to hide in my new residence to avoid the risks.”
“Hmph! If it weren’t for that shameless woman’s scheming, she wouldn’t stand a chance against me!” Si Hongyue said coldly.
Shameless woman?
Qin Changqing had a thought: “Is there another person as powerful as you in
Yinxu Prefecture?”
“Since you’ve guessed that much, you should be clear that meddling with the Huntian Sect will not end well.” Si Hongyue said indifferently, “Let me be frank, she brought quite a few people with her. Even with you and the elder, it won’t make a difference.’ “So, are you willing to give up like this?”
“What do you mean?”
Qin Changqing smiled, “I think, you must be quite frustrated staying here, right? How about this: we cooperate, and I believe we can eliminate those people without a problem.”
Si Hongvue’s gaze turned cold, “Do you think I’m stupid? Kill her, kill them.
and then you turn against me?”
“No, no, no. I still have some integrity. I just want to resolve the issue. As long as the problem can be resolved, your life doesn’t matter to me.”
“The righteousness and evil do not stand together in the past, I will never agree to your terms.”
“Then it’s up to you.” Qin Changqing shrugged, “This is your only chance. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t help, I can just go back and tell the elder that this matter has nothing to do with me.”
In fact, regarding this matter, Qin Changqing gradually figured out what was going on after meeting Si Hongyue.
So, to resolve the issue with the Huntian Sect, it was obvious that starting with Si Hongyue would be the easiest way.
As for cooperating with the enemy, there was no need to consider that. This was the territory of the Lingxiao Sect, and it was Si Hongyue who should worry about it.
Seeing Qin Changqing’s indifferent expression, Si Hongyue hesitated.
Leaving like this, she couldn’t accept it.
After all, that thing was critical for her to become the one and only Saintess, and even the heir to the Sect Leader of the Huntian Sect.
If it were to be taken away by others, she would have no place to stand in the Huntian Sect.
However, she also could not bring herself to join forces with a righteous sect to fight against fellow disciples.
Qin Changqing said with a smile, “You can think about it first. Before you make up your mind, you can stay temporarily at my place, the original location, which you know.”
He found that although this woman was cold, she didn’t resort to any means as described in the bounty notice.
If she did, Liu Yi would probably have died long ago.
Moreover, the people in the Qin family might have suffered too.
But so far, Si Hongyue hadn’t killed any innocents.
Naturally, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t killed anyone. Qin Changqing didn’t mind the fact that she had killed people. In the world of immortality, it would be strange if someone didn’t kill others.
“Give it to me.” Si Hongyue extended her left hand.
“What?”
“That!” She glared at the bellyband in Qin Changqing’s hand.
As a result, Qin Changqing stuffed it straight into his storage bag.
“I can’t do that now. You have to give me an answer first: either leave Yinxu
Prefecture, cooperate with me or… become an enemy. If it’s the latter, I have no reason to return this thing to you.”
“You!—
Si Honzvue clenched her fists.
After a long while, she snorted and said ‘shameless’ before lifting the tent flap and leaving.
“Phew-”
Qin Changqing let out a breath and smiled faintly.
“It seems there’s still hope.”
Si Hongyue didn’t outright refuse, which meant she was already tempted.
Qin Changqing stroked his chin.
Suddenly he thought, since there were so many stories of marrying saintesses in novels, why not marry a Demon Saintess to suppress his astonishment?
After Si Hongyue left, it took Qin Changqing a long time to wake up Liu Yi.
This young girl was completely clueless about what had happened. She only had a Tier 3 Foundation Establishment cultivation and seeing a powerful person like Si Hongyue, the right thing to do was to squat down with her head in her hands, she had no other ideas.
“She…She’s gone?” Liu Yi looked cautiously around.
The tent was so small that everything was visible at a glance.
“She’s gone.” Qin Changqing apologized, “I’m sorry, she came after me.”
Liu Yi shook her head, “There’s no need to apologize, Senior Qin. She didn’t hurt me anyway..”
